InsideJapan Tours Recensioni 1.204

The travel arrangements and instructions were excellent. Our first visit to Japan. No problems with the transport. Hotels were up to and exceeded expectations. The itinerary was what we had asked for which was to include a few 'off the beaten track" places. We really enjoyed all the places on the itinerary but next time we would tailor the trip to suit our preferences. Excellent guides provided for our days in Tokyo and Kyoto. The only negative was that we did find the hectic travel itinerary a little bit too exhausting by the last few days of the 16 day tour. This is not the fault of Inside Japan... more a reflection of us getting a bit older! We are planning to go again with Inside Japan next year but with a more relaxed schedule.

Great guide, small group size, well planned itinerary while giving guide flexibility to make changes based on group desires.

Great 15-day trip to japan, excellent hotels and deals, great value money wise, my husband and I will never forget this wonderful trip!

The trip was fantastic! It started with the assistance we received right from the start when we were booking the trip. We had an hour-long trip from the airport to the hotel in a car with recliners! Our guide stayed up to meet us at the hotel at midnight to make sure our arrival went well. Our guide made sure everyone's dietary needs were tended to during the trip. She took care of every detail of the trip. The places we visited were always interesting. We had fun experiences indigo dying, learning kendo, and more. We spent the right amount of time at places, and had a lot of variety. When issues came up, our guide was able to pivot and make adjustments to keep us on track. The small size of the group makes it easy to navigate all types of sites. This is our third trip with IJT, and they've all been great!

Right from stumbling upon Inside Japan tours website, I knew they were going to be the company we would use for our dream vacation in Japan. They were the only ones that had a private tour geared for my husband and I that we could do on our own with their guidance. We are not big fans of group tours, and this allowed us to see so many different parts of Japan with their expertise and the knowledge of their recommended private guides plus the fact that they did everything for us beforehand from booking all of the train tickets, transportation, hotels and tours was the best experience we could have asked for. Their suggestions for what parts to see in Japan for the two weeks we were there, their organized process, the guidebook, all of the tickets provided before hand, the hotels and Ryokans they booked for us, and their customer service during our stay if we needed them - all top notch. We have recommended them so many times already. Absolutely an amazing experience using this company and we will use them on our next trip to Asia.

The inside knowledge and attention to detail of Inside Japan made our holiday the best experience we could have had. The locations and quality of the individual hotels they selected for the itinerary they created to meet our requirements were spot on, and the travel arrangements worked seamlessly. I can't recommend them highly enough, and if we do manage a return trip we would definitely use them again.

It was a very well organized tour, our guide Michael made the tour very special. He got to know all of us, the places we visited were beautiful and of interest and he was truly knowledgeable. The country was really special. I would recommend this tour highly, and the price was fair.

Four of us used Inside Japan for a self guided tour in Oct-Nov 2025 for 22 days. The train, hotel, and special event arrangements they made were wonderful. We had a guide for a day each in 4 locations but otherwise traveled independently- it was beyond marvelous. Although we did not need it, we had an IJ number we could call 24/7 if we had a problem. Would recommend IJ to others and traveling independently in Japan is very easy: even for 4 seniors (ages 68-76!)

Karin was fantastic. She is an excellent listener and did a superb job selecting hotels and experiences for us.

Inside Japan were very helpful in helping us plan our itinery and booking accommodation and travel. All worked well and on the couple of occassions that it didn't their local presence resolved the issue quickly and efficiently. I would suggest keeping an eye on the add-ons - such as tours etc - we did most of our own guiding which worked out fine but even so the cost can be high but very worthwhile.

Really good itinerary that was very well organised. The instruction booklet meant we couldn't go wrong whilst travelling, with good suggestions of what to do.
Loved Japan.

Great attention to what we were looking for, very detailed guide. Really nice attention to detail, all hotels were great, tickets for the trains and buses. Made it all a very very good experience for the first time visitors to this amazing country!

Brilliantly organised by Inside Japan. Our leader was simply superb. Everything went incredibly well. And we saw a part of Japan that few westerners visit. Just a wonderful trip! Recommend this company & their trips very strongly indeed!

In the main everything went brilliantly. There were a couple of minor issues but in 5 weeks it would be amazing if something didn’t go slightly wrong.
On all the trains & buses we always seem to be of the correct side to get the views. The guides were amazing so flexible, knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble. The office in Japan were super helpful when we had issues.
I have lost count of the number of times we said “ Inside Japan have done a great job again”
Neither of us will have any hesitation to recommend Inside Japan to anyone who asks.

Inside Japan put together an absolutely perfect holiday for us. They listened carefully for what we wanted, they stayed well within our budget and the result was a holiday of a lifetime - Thank you. Absolutely recommend

In October 2025 we (husband & I) joined 11 other people from the USA and UK for a 9 day tour of Japan with Inside Japan. The small group was perfect.
Prior to leaving Australia we were provided with two very detailed booklets covering the tour locations and Japanese culture and food. Prior to departure any questions asked of the Australian based staff were answered promptly.
In Japan, the accommodation in every location, Tokyo, Kyoto, Hakoni, Hikoni and Lake Biwai was very good, quiet and comfortable.
We experienced Japan as a local, travelling on public transport and eating locally.
For those who wished to go, our tour leader guided us to additional places not on the tour.
Although the tour was described as “energetic”, we (fit 74 & 72 year olds) had no trouble keeping up with the pace. Though we were happy with the extra days after the tour to just wander around Tokyo.we would recommend Inside Japan as a tour company.

The Northern Soul tour was fine. No real complaints. Blessed with a great tour group leader, tour group members and good weather.
In the small towns that were visited during the trip and because fish is a primary staple even for breakfast and not accustomed to eating fish for breakfast, I had to look elsewhere for a Western breakfast. I can handle fish for lunch and supper but not necessarily for breakfast. That's just me. Other tour group members adjusted just fine. It's a matter of being open to the culture. I need to work on that.

I submitted a very detailed review of our trip, and quite honestly, I expected someone from Inside Japan Tours to reach out to me so that hopefully some issues could be addressed by your company in the future. But no one has reached out. Perhaps when you see this note someone will reach out. I was surprised to receive this invitation for a review today because I submitted my detailed review/survey 2 months ago.

A lot of practical help with the trip and some very interesting locations and experiences but equally they dropped the ball on one occasion and didn’t quite hit the mark a few times

A superb trip to Japan in October on your Majestic Japan tour.
Seamless arrangements by your UK team in particular Archie and an excellent tour leader Ed on the ground.
Will return in a couple of years and will be using Inside Japan again for the arrangements.
